Default OT:US don\'t qualify for EU membership, don\'t spank children, WW2 history.
Reading some Posts here about Australia becoming the next US state, and some other threads about other topics about other issues I started thinking.
Turkey really want to enter the EU but still hasn't qualified.
A lot of the former east states in central europe has qualified and will soon become members.
But the US wouldn't qualify neither by the economical criteria nor the human right criterias.

What are the thoughts on this from you US fellows, are we Europeans squemish about human rights? (I don't think so), aren't you worried about your federal budget defeceit?
